It is cold. The wind blows from the North East.

Not me. I was miles away at the time.

I have seen the sea on fire and a burning circle in the sky.
It was a sign writ large in flame.

I know my place.


*
That is 1745 the last uprising we had.

And they still sing this, in that so called palace:

Lord grant that Marshal Wade
May by thy mighty aid
Victory bring.
May he sedition hush,
And like a torrent rush,
Rebellious Scots to crush.
God save the King!

Ah, yes of course! It sounded that way somehow. Thanks for this 
historical reminder. Always glad to learn.

hundred years.

I think I'm gonna just let it go for now, and get back to coding and hopefully
raytracing something interesting and/or aesthetically pleasing.

Too much faith, religious fervor, ad-hominem, and casino-betting.

Not interested in turning this little corner of the newsgroup into a pissing
match or flame war.

With all due respect, gracefully bowing out.

It is always good to know when to make your excuses and leave. As our 
newspaper reporters say. When they reach that part of the drug 
deal/whatever that they have to something naughty.

This is a nice part of the internet.

Blasphemer!  Jesus does it.  Like when we were running out of oil in the 
70s and then Jesus made us more. (Bible belters actually believe this.)
